Runescape Gold: Each Tree Cutting has 4 items it can become for any set of crystals fed
Gardening Guide: Arcane pot works best. It gives you about 60% chance of getting 2 elemental ores, instead of like a 30% chance of getting Runescape Gold one from a porclean pot.
Typical setup: 1 Arcane, 9 porclean pots. Tree Cutting Basics.
Each Tree Cutting has 4 items it can become for any set of crystals fed to it. 1 is junk (little worms / rock salt / shell bugs / etc), 1 is becoming clusters of crystals of the opposite type you fed it (feed ice crystals, get wind clusters), 1 is tree leaves (gold leaves, plat leaves, etc), and the final item is the elemental ore.
Then you’ll always want to feed the plat two of the same type of crystal. Like ice, wind, I find that has best results (I gardened for over 6 months). The best result I found was trying for ice ore. Here's why.
1) Ice ore Staff + 1 is most expensive staff, and snow rings are really in demand also.
2) Feeding 2 ice crystals gives you either plat leaves, or elemental ore, and plat leaves sell for a very good amount of money (most of any leaves) by just selling them to a vender.
3) Porc pots are fire based, and so provide best results when feeding ice crystals.
